What is Precoro?

Precoro is a cloud-based solution for procurement process optimization. It aims to eliminate time-consuming manual procedures and human factor errors, and instead automates operations and centralizes purchasing processes. It enables users to:

- To save money from the purchasing budget, Precoro tracks discounts to avoid spending more than planned. It can increase cash flow transparency by monitoring corporate expenses (including reimbursements). And it provides analytics and reports so users can plan the procurement strategy more thoughtfully.

- Users can create, approve and track POs or transfer orders from Amazon Business via Punch-in. Manage suppliers, item catalogs, and inventory.

- Precoro connects with an ERP and other business tools using ready-made integrations (NetSuite, QuickBooks, Xero) or its API. This helps to avoid duplicated payments and manual document matching.

- Data is kept secure with SSO and 2-factor authentication.

Excellent solution for Procurement and Spend Management

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

The program is used to control the procurement cycle of the entire company by individual departments or locations. From office equipment to service subscriptions, tracking all statuses from requisition to payment.I use it at least weekly. Requests are created intuitively and in handy, as the catalog of the products I need is already here. I can also generate warehouse requests from the inventory section. The approvals are much faster because my manager is notified immediately and can confirm it from his phone. Thanks to the budgets, there is complete visibility of the current expenses and the number of remaining funds for a certain period.

Pros

  • Procure-to-pay process covering
  • Visualizing budget control
  • Notification for faster approvals
  • Distribution of processes by departments

Most Important Features

  • Email and Slack notifications about pending approvals
  • Warehouse and purchase requisitions
  • Catalogs and vendor portal

Return on Investment

  • We have now put our processes in order, accelerated the approval process, and are spending less than usual. The implementation took about 2 weeks. We mastered the program without additional training, as the interface is straightforward and concise.
